Dang, I hate physical activity
Monday, January 07, 2008
I am in desperate need of some exercise! Since the weather got cold, I stopped my nightly walk with Scout in the sling. I miss that so much. I'm sure there have been some brisk but not TOO cold days here and there when I could've bundled her up and taken her out, but it just feels weird to me to tote a baby around outside in the cold. I bet it would've done us both some good, though.
We have a recumbent exercise bike collecting dust out in the garage that I should probably drag into the house and use at least a few times a week while Scout is napping. I'm just so selfish with my alone time. It seems like a waste to spend it doing something that I don't really enjoy. I NEVER get to escape the house alone (except for my Weight Watchers meetings). I am with Scout 24/7 and her naps are the only time I have to do chores that can't be done while she is asleep, bathe, and just relax. I'm not sure how to fit exercise in there.

I so know what you mean about the alone time, the only time in the week I get out by myself is to the church evening service and I just about have a breakdown if something comes up and I can't even get out to that.
This week I decided that I really need to plan some proper weekly time out for myself, the library is a five minute walk from my house and on Mondays stays open till 7pm so when hubby came in from work at 4 I had the dinner all made so all he had to do was reheat it at dinner time and I went off to the library and stayed there till closing time - it was heavenly and I feel like a new person having had that time out so I'm going to do it weekly.
Ooh! I soooo need to do something like that. I mentioned to DH long ago that I desperately need to schedule a time for me to run off to the book store to sit and sip on a cappuccino and browse through books and magazines for a couple hours while he hangs out with Scout. Somehow, that has not materialized yet :(
